Hair Color

Digital Imaging project using hair

Post navigation

Challenge

To use digital imaging tools to create an image that uses human hair as the main visual element.

Solution

I took photographs of a model’s face and hair under various studio lighting conditions. In Photoshop, I used shadow and lighting detail from the face to superimpose it over the hair layer using various blending mode combinations to achieve a realistic effect. Finally, I used the liquify ﬁlter to carefully create a mesh of the face to warp the hair layers around, resulting in a full 3D effect.
